Answer 1

i'm sorry i really don't know, but i would say that you should try to show that your mom is established here. If she pays taxes, show that she pays taxes. I think taxes are really important. I'm sorry i can't be of more use. I really hope you figure this out. Good luck my friend

Answer 2

Your mother may be deportable. You'll have to let the Immigration Judge decide.

A criminal conviction may lead to deportation of both legal and illegal immigrants to the United States. Most crimes that entail deportation are violent crimes, called "aggravated felonies," but some state DUI laws may be interpreted so that in certain circumstances a DUI conviction may also lead to deportation.

Depending on factors such as prior convictions, additional charges and even the DUI laws in your state, DUI may be considered an aggravated crime, thus allowing local authorities to pursue deportation.

Answer 3

you need an immigration lawyer

Answer 4

I will be brutally honest with you.

The way it seems, your mother wasn't even meant to get that resident card if she had past DUI, the regulation would have put your mom for deportation the time she had that DUI + hit and run.

Her resident card expiration shouldn't have anything to do with that, although it just makes it easier for them to deport your mom as she basically doesn't even have the right to be there in the first place.

That aside, the best way that you can do right now is applying a Cancellation of Removal.

The chance of you getting it through is not that big mind you, but this motion will gives you time to organize yourself as most immigration court takes quite a long time to reach a decision.

You're 21 yrs old, it means that you're eligible to support your parents for a family migration. In the time provided, just organize yourself so that you will look to be very eligible in providing support and sponsoring your mom to migrate there.

They're just rough idea of what you can do. For the details I suggest you find an immigration lawyer. Contact local Catholic church as they have directory of lawyers willing to take the case with less fee (or willing have the fee paid incrementally) usually they cost ranging from 2000-6000

See if you can sponsor your parent while they are already inside the country.

Good luck
